GD/PI Experience
Slot : 25th March 2013 - 9AM
Venue : IIFT Delhi
GD - The group was of 6 members. The topic was "Decreasing defense expenditure and increasing social expenditure is the need of the hour"
- We were given 3 minutes to think, then 13 minutes to discuss and 2 minutes to conclude.
- We chose the topic through chit system and after some time, one of the panelist said 30 seconds left, and just after about 5 seconds I started speaking and initiated the discussion. I was interrupted and was told to wait till they ring the second bell.

-So after 10-15 seconds, the bell rang and I started the discussion again (Yeah! 
) and made 3-4 decent entries after that. π
PI - Two Male Professors (M1 and M2)
M1 : So Prateek, tell us something about yourself.
Me : Told
M2 : You mentioned you work on root cause analysis for problem management. How do you do that?
Me : Told with a detailed example. Spoke at length (for about 4 minutes) as I explained an entire case.

(M2 looked convinced)
M1 : So Prateek, why MBA?
Me : Gave them a detailed answer.
M2 interrupted in between.
M2 : Why BITS?
Me : Well, I have to be honest with you Sir. BITS has a huge brand name associated with it and will definitely help me in my future prospects.
M2 : Any other reason?
Me : Sir, actually during my engineering entrance exams I had aspired to crack BITS, Pilani but somehow couldn't secure a seat that time. I love the campus and the fact that it is isolated which provides a good environment to study. By spending two years as a part of MBA program, I'll work hard to take the maximum from the curriculum and also enjoy reliving the dream I had earlier.
M1 Smiles.
M1 : But you being a passout from Birla Institute Of Technology, Mesra, don't you think getting into your college is also very difficult?
Me : I know Sir that it is difficult, but BITS is a class apart sir. Its BITS, Pilani.
M1 and M2 chuckled.
M2 : Okay do you know anyone who is studying/had studied there?
M1 : So Prateek, why MBA?
Me : Gave them a detailed answer.
M2 interrupted in between.

M1 and M2 chuckled.
M2 : Okay do you know anyone who is studying/had studied there?
Me : Sir, one of my classmates at school, Arjun Gosain.
M2 : Yeah, the name sounds familiar.
M1 : Okay, so what does your father do?
Me : Sir, he is a passout from Delhi College Of Engineering and is currently Senior General Manager in (**name of company**), which makes (***).
M1 :And what about your mother?
Me : She had done her PhD in English language and has also done a diploma in French language. She used to be a lecturer and then used to run her own institute. Now, she is a full-time house wife.
M1 and M2 together : Institute in Delhi?
Me : No sir, in Jaipur itself where we put up.
(**silence for about 5 seconds**)
M1 and M2 in unison : Well Prateek, all the best for the results. It was nice getting to know you.
It was a short (7-8 minutes) interview. π
Fingers Crossed Now!
NOTE : Be prepared to WAIT. The process is going to take time and patience will be the need of the hour.
All the best to all the aspirants. π I hope this helps. π»

Slot: 26th march, 9am, Delhi (IIFT)
GD topic: Will Lokpal Bill change the country? π SCREWED UP, big time!! I am actually least bothered about politics and i got this topic about which i hardly knew anythin. i know it's a well known topic but again what can i say? hardly made 2-3 points on the same. If i have to rate myself, i'll give 3/10π
After the poor GD experience, PI came as a sigh of relief for me.
1) Introduce yourself. 2) As my father is in govt. service he asked me why do u want to go for MBA? 3) Why BITS? 4) Asked about my CAT score (As i told i was preparing for the same for the past 6months) 5) my strengths? 6) Why a dip in score in B.Tech? Hardly 8-10 min of PI
The best part was both the panel looked convinced by my ans.π In the end, i actually told 'em that my GD didn't go as per my expectations, they told me to relax as the candidate is judged overall and you did a reasonably good job in PI and should not worry muchπ Also, he said that we are aware that people have different tastes and as u were not interested in politics, had it been a cricket topic i m sure u would have done well so it actually hardly matters and he wished me all the best.
Profile: CAT: 81.35, 10- 78%, 12- 81%, B.tech- 66% What do u think puys? any slight chance of conversion? Or the GD just made my chances close to Nillπ
All the best who are leftπ
Do we need the Application Form which we sent to BITS ??
